Replacing the battery of your motherboard (CMOS battery)

Symptoms
If your computer is showing the
following symptoms:
Error with date and time options.
You are prompted with the
following error messages:
- bios cmos checksum error
defaults loaded
- bios cmos battery low cmos
- wrong memory size
- no operating system
- CPU overclocking failed
New CPU has been installed and
more..
These problems may be due to
the fact that your CSMOS battery
is depleted and itâ €(TM)s about
time to replace it.
Replacement sequence
It is recommended that you
change the CSMOS battery every
5 years.
Saving the BIOS data
Open all the BIOS screen and
note all the information on a
piece of paper. It's important
that you don't make any
modifications. Once completed
this document will be useful to
check out if all the parameters
are correctly inserted after
replacing the battery.
Identify the CMOS battery
The CMOS battery is some kind of
round shape button, thin in
diameter, sometimes it can be
hidden by extension cards or
connectors or on old PC it has a
cylindrical shape.
The battery model most widely
used is the CR2032:
-Where :
- CR- lithium battery
- 20 - 20mm diameter
- 32- Thickness 32* 0.1 mm
-This type or battery is easily
found and has an average price
of 4 to 5 Euros
How to locate it:
- Turn off your PC
- Remove the power cable
- attached to your System unit and
remove the hatch.
Discharge your System Unit from
static electricity by touching it
with a metallic object.



Removing the discharged
battery
- First of all be sure that your
System unit is laid down
horizontally.
- The +ve pole of the battery
should be visible.
- Remove the battery, but avoid
any forcing and any contact
with other parts of your
motherboard (refer to the
manual provide with your
motherboard).
- Go to your local retailer any buy
a battery of the same model or
something equivalent.
Installing the new battery
Be sure that the battery is place
correctly (firmly) in the slot
allocated (positive side visible,
depending on the model of your
motherboard).
Verify the BIOS data and
resetting the clock
Once the operation complete, it is
important to configure the BIOS
settings.
- Start your PC.
- Enter the BIOS.
- Modify the Date.
- Verify if the parameters are the
same as the one noted in step
1(perform any modifications
needed)
- Save and quit BIOS.

Flashing the BIOS

What is the BIOS?
BIOS stand for Basic Input/
Output System
The BIOS is a set of instructions
contained on a volatile memory
chip built onto your
motherboard. When a PC is
turned on, the BIOS program is
initiated. It performs a hardware
check ensuring that all crucial
hardware properly (video card, a
CPU, memory) are present and
are working, if the power supply
providing proper voltages. If
any problem is detected it will
inform you via beep codes. A
startup screen is displayed if
everything is. A memory check is
done, other hardware are
identified, device are configured
as needed, Boot drive is
identified, and then control and
priorities are handed over to the
boot sector on the boot drive,
which launches the operating
system. Note that all these
procedures are done
independently from the
operating system used.

Upgrading the BIOS
Upgrading the BIOS of your
computer's motherboard, is also
known a flashing the BIOS,
consist of downloading the
correct BIOS file, the proper CMOS
chip flashing software,
rebooting the PC into DOS mode,
applying the correct commands
and wait until the update
finished. BIOS updates can add
new features and provide
significant stability to your
system.
Reasons to flash the BIOS
Bug fixes:
among the features
and options contained in the
BIOS, if one of them is not
working properly upgrading the
BIOS can solve this problem.
Corrections made by
manufacturers are accessible
with newer BIOS version.
Supporting larger hard drives
and the latest processors: allows
you to configure your PC to
maximum size for hard drive
and adjusting your motherboard
to accept newer processors .
Note that
Make sure that you have all the
necessary informations about
your motherboard and have the
right CMOS chip flashing
software before performing this
operation, or things can turn out
badly.

Having the following message at
startup means that there is a
problem with your floppy drive.
To handle this problem try the
following:
- Check in the device manager that
there is no yellow exclamation
point near the floppy drive, if so
reinstall the driver.
- Go into the BIOS and check if
your floppy drive is set as
primary boot device, if so
change it (set the Hard Disk as
primary boot device).
- Go into the BIOS and set your
floppy drive A as Disabled or Not
Installed, save with the F10 key
and restart your PC.
- Make sure the floppy drive is
connected.
If this persists disconnect
(permanently) the floppy drive
from the PC.
